Dhanuka Agritech’s Mission for Efficient Water Conservation

Water is the backbone of agriculture, yet its scarcity threatens the future of farming. Efficient water management is no longer a choice but a necessity for sustainable agriculture. Recognizing this, Dhanuka Agritech Ltd., one of the best pesticide companies in India, launched the visionary campaign 'Gaon Ka Pani Gaon Mein, Aur Khet Ka Pani Khet Mein' nearly a decade ago. The initiative promotes the judicious use of water and aligns perfectly with the Government of India’s efforts, such as 'Per Drop More Crop' under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana.

As one of the leading agrochemical brands, Dhanuka continues to raise awareness about water conservation in agriculture through education, infrastructure development, and community-driven activities. On World Water Day, the company reaffirms its commitment to securing India’s water resources for future generations.

Dhanuka Agritech’s Vision for Water Conservation

Dhanuka Agritech has always believed in sustainable farming practices that benefit both farmers and the environment. The company's vision for water conservation revolves around three major principles:

• Efficient Water Use – Encouraging the adoption of drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and soil moisture retention to reduce water wastage.
•  
• Community Awareness – Hosting lectures, school competitions, and awareness drives to educate people on water-conserved agrochemical products.
•  
• Infrastructure Development – Constructing check dams and watershed projects to improve groundwater levels and ensure efficient water distribution in farming communities.
•  

Dhanuka’s efforts have significantly contributed to enhancing water efficiency in agriculture, ensuring high productivity with minimal water usage.

1. Healthier Crops & Improved Yield

Since 2010, Dhanuka Agritech has actively celebrated World Water Day (March 22) in collaboration with National Institutes, State Agricultural Universities, and government bodies. Each year, various activities are conducted to raise awareness about water conservation and sustainable irrigation practices. Some of the key initiatives include:

• Lectures & Educational Seminars – Experts discuss smart water management techniques for farmers.
• School Drawing & Essay Competitions – Young minds participate in contests themed around 'Conservation of Water' to foster awareness at an early stage.
• Awareness Campaigns – Informative pamphlets, posters, and banners are displayed in rural areas to educate farmers about water conservation.
• Documentary Promotion – A 60-second film, 'Insaan Paani Bana Toh Nahi Sakta, Par Bacha Zaroor Sakta Hai', is screened to highlight the importance of saving water.
• Traditional Rain Prayers – As per Hindu mythology, Yagnas are conducted to seek blessings for a good monsoon.

Through these initiatives, Dhanuka Agritech, a leader in agricultural chemicals and crop protection solutions, has successfully inspired thousands of farmers to adopt better irrigation practices.

Ground-Level Impact: Check Dams & Sustainable Farming

Dhanuka Agritech doesn’t just create awareness—it takes real action. The company has constructed five check dams in Rajasthan’s Sikar and Jaipur districts (Jugalpura, Devipura, Mainpura ki Dhani, Sankotra, and Kothputli). These water storage structures provide long-term benefits such as:

• Increased Water Availability – Benefitting over 50,000 people in nearly 10,000 households
• Groundwater Recharge – Helping farmers maintain a consistent water supply for irrigation.
• Drought Prevention – Reducing crop failure risks in regions prone to water shortages.
• Enhancing Irrigation Infrastructure – Providing farmers with a stable water source for better crop production.

Using sustainable practices like efficient irrigation and weed killer pre-emergent application can further enhance soil moisture retention and optimize crop growth

Dhanuka’s check dam projects have directly contributed to strengthening India’s agricultural sector by ensuring a reliable water source for farming communities.
